#321; ALAN ARAGON; whats fact vs fad? how aging & menopause changes how we need to diet & train, myths around metabolic adaptation, collagen & more

100% Real With Ruby; no #BS health, fitness & mindset

“Be careful not to oversimplify in pursuit of simplicity. Changing the body, and maintaining those changes, is not as simple as people wish it was.”

The rise of diet camps isnt leaving us

Carnivore & veganism down falls - and while im so anti carnivore it isnt silly, im not against veganism at all but there are so many things you need to know if you want to keep health, performance & body composition in check, can you talk about both of these

Doctors say it

“Research papers say it”

Seed oils

Red meat

___

Natural vs non natural

GMOS vs organic

15:00

Do you see long term carnivore impacting any of those

Or red meats

Or any animal meats in general

Because i get so riled up and i know you do too about netflix which typically are centered around vegans

the myth behind a slowing metabolism and dieting ruining your metabolism ."Weight loss induces changes in adaptive thermogenesis in female and male physique athletes"

In conclusion, while dieting, female and male physique athletes experience REE and hormonal changes leading to adaptive thermogenesis. However, responses seemed temporary as they returned toward baseline after the recovery phase

24: NEAT

I absolutely love this topic so lets keep taking this deeper into the research and also practice

*** deflated maintenance vs real maintenance

______

40:20

Muscle and importance of it no matter what phase you are in

And how to keep it

How to train to keep it

How carbs can help if you care about your energy, performance & muscle

48: gallons of fat lost

People are scared of this stuff and stepping away from fatloss bc its all they know which again is why a coach is important - why learning maintenance is important -

And realising fat cant be lost all at once. Its in phases

And diet fatigue is the weightloss resistance

Theres so much progress you can make outside of dieting

You do fatloss in chunks

You need to revisit home and not always take your trip away to fatloss

You live at home and build your life there so learn HOW to live there so you don't gain it all back or keep losing and gaining the same weight

Be patient in the process

Briing your wife back into it - does aging change how diet and training work? Emphasising its harder to build muscle and fat shifts to different areas but you can change that and take owndership thru actions especially building muscle

How alcohol can set you back

Its not just a heap of calories (which i call liquid fat as it is the first thing the body tries to get rid of) but behind how calorific it is and how void of nutrition it is, how else can this be a massive set back, especially for women and those as they age

You don't know how much easier your process and results can be when you give up alcohol

Muscle synthesis is already lower

Don't make it worse

Most people are drinking it before bed and alcohol before bed sedates you and your quality goes down - you may sleep the hours but they arent good ones

How about Do our elimination pathways slow down as we age or is that also individual ?

Collagen facts

This is why its important for injury

Even wound healing

Espeically as you age because collagen descreases but more isnt better

Its like WHAT are you wanting
